| Summary |
Conrad Russell highlights the constitutional problem of multiple kingdoms within Britain, the religious problem of competing theologies within two or three state churches, and the financial problem of the inadequacy of the royal revenue to meet the needs of the monarchy. In order to understand the events of the 1640s, he traces the story of the church and state over the previous century. |
